...and see for yourselves

the magic of our art.

Going someplace?

Ah, yes. I go to survey the terrain

in advance of conquest.

How do you manage

to get out of the work?

- Yeah.

- Gumbo, do not ask me to explain...

...the mysteries of genius.

- Now, wait a minute...

- Boys...

...here is my last cigar.

Divide it among you.

I was keeping it lit for you.

Nia.

Beautiful town you have here, sir.

Beautiful.

- You're one of the actors, aren't you?

- Then you know.

Nia.

Nia.

Say, why do call all the girls Nia?

My friend...

...there are so many beautiful girls

in the world with so many names...

...I find it very confusing.

So I've simplified things.

I use one name.

But why... Why did you pick Nia?

Yes, why Nia?

Why not?

When I arrive in any town

I look the ladies up and down

And when I pick my favorite flame

This is my patter, no matter her name

- Nia.

- My name is Luisa.

But you could be Nia for me.

Couldrt you? Nia?

Nia, Nia, Nia, Nia

Fascinating Nia

What a lovely child

Nia, you enchant me

Nia, you're so sweet, I mean you

Fairly drive me wild

Nia, till the moment you hit my heart

Nia, I was doing just fine

But since I've seen you

Nia, Nia, Nia

I'll be having neurasthenia

Till I make you mine

Till I make you

Till I make you mine,

till I make you mine

Till I make you mine

Nia, Nia, Nia, Nia

Nia, Nia, Nia, Nia

Nia, till the moment you hit my heart

Nia, I was doing just fine

But since I've seen you

Nia, Nia, Nia

I'll be having neurasthenia

Till I make you mine, till I make you mine

Till I make you mine, till I make you mine

Nia.

You're the prize gardenia

Of the Spanish Main

Nia

Don 't be so enticing

Or I'll go insane

Nia

Nia, till alas I gazed in your eyes

Nia, I was mentally fine

But since I've seen you

Nia, Nia, Nia

I'll be having schizophrenia

Till I make you...

Oh, look, Aunt Inez, the sea.

- Manuela, what will people think?

- Seora Alva, welcome, and seorita.

Your boxes have arrived

and the dressmaker is awaiting you.

- Splendid. Splendid. Come Manuela.

- No, please, Aunt Inez.

- Let me see the sea. You promised.

- We can go later.

- You needrt come. I can go alone.

- Alone? Are you mad?

No one knows me here.

I'll be back in a half an hour.

Manuela.

Manue...!

Who are you?

In Madrid...

...I hear that young ladies do not

walk out without their duennas.

However, I should have thought

that in a town like Port Sebastion...

...bodyguards were unnecessary.

You, gracious lady,

will always need a bodyguard.

Even in the lonely wastes

of the Sahara Desert...

...the sands would rise up

and follow you.

Tell me, what is your name?

I do not see
